Connect with the Product Hunt community

We re relaunching Cannabox soon, and I d love feedback from the Product Hunt community before we go live.

Cannabox started as a cannabis delivery marketplace in Thailand. After talking to users and dispensaries, we found a bigger problem: price transparency.

1. I've always been on the personal brand side. More and more founders are building it now (sometimes even before the product is ready while it's still in development, before seed fundraising). The CEO builds their position so the product sells more easily at the official launch.

2. But I have experience with people who built the product, scaled it, and only then did we discover who was behind it.

Honestly, with the first approach, I'd be concerned that people invest more in me as a person than in the product. People would idealise the founder and overlook the product's flaws (which could hurt development and constructive feedback).

+ I noticed the most common mistake that many people who started building a personal brand first, connected their product to their personal accounts (emails, social media, etc.) and started having a problem selling these things, because they cannot "give someone keys" to their personal profiles.

I've been running Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex pretty heavily for the last few months and I keep hitting the same loop:

1. Start a task in one agent

2. Switch to something else (Slack, Twitter, another terminal)

The web is the worst tool in AI, I can prove it. And we're building an AI alternative at Nebils called global memory architecture to give you access to the maximum truthful information from AI. Nebils is an AI social network for humans, agents, and models.

But will you invest in us? We're running out of money.

Building a team or want to join a startup?

Founders, teams, and startups drop a comment if you're hiring.

We teamed up with Vercel and we want you shipping this Friday.
May 15 is Vercel Day. Launch your product on Product Hunt that day with the Vercel Day tag and you're on the official Vercel Day leaderboard alongside every other builder going live that day. Top launches win prizes and get serious visibility from a crowd that's already paying attention.
This is the move if you've been waiting for a reason to launch. You've got four days.

No new tabs this time. v0.17.0 is the boring-on-purpose release: I went back through everything you actually touch in a long session and made the app meaningfully steadier underneath. It does the same things v0.16.0 did it just behaves the same in hour eight as in minute one.

The self-multiplying API traffic, gone

"Data portability doesn't make money."

I heard this for years - from market leaders, from VCs, from people I respected.

"This is a regulatory problem, not a technical one." "This is a feature, not a product." "People don't pay for idealistic things."

<<Back story>>
In 2019, my team and I went deep into Self-Sovereign Identity: wrote research papers, ran experiments, and found ourselves at the intersection of data, identity, and web3. Right at that intersection lay data portability and sovereignty: the ability to own your data and take it anywhere on the internet.

Building Hayley has meant reading a lot of research on how people process decisions out loud.

The patterns that come up most: a relationship that needs a conversation you keep avoiding. A business decision that's already made but won't stop reopening. A version of yourself you're not sure you're living up to.

Curious what it is for the people in this community. Not looking for details, just the category.

Hey everyone

Just shipped Netfox 0.4.2. Here's what's new:

There are a lot of products being hunted, launched, and competing for attention here.

But I still see some makers missing the very basics.

A lot of people try to raise funding before they even begin.

And then sometimes I read those zero to hero stories. (Maybe they re a bit "polished" by the media to have publicity.)

In any case, building products has become much easier from a technical perspective, which also makes it cheaper especially for software startups.

AI writes faster. AI analyzes data. AI can even mimic your brand voice.

But AI also makes everything sound the same. It pulls from the same top 10 results. It rephrases the same arguments. It optimizes for similarity, not distinctiveness.

Here is what the research says.

The similarity crisis is real

There are founders you d love to NOT work for. And then there are founders whose company you wouldn t want to leave, no matter what.

A big part of that comes down to people, their values, and their character.

And often, that starts with the founder.

Yesterday (June 1st), we launched Databox MCP, and we finished #3 Product of the Day!

This wouldn't have happened without the dedicated and highly engaged team in Databox and this community. The upvotes, the comments, the shares - and everyone who followed along and took the time to try it. You helped us validate that people genuinely want to chat with their business data from the AI tools they already use.

AI is incredibly good, I d even say almost perfect.

And for many people, that uniformity of perfect templates is starting to feel annoying.

Here's a marketing problem no one prepares you for: what happens when your product's success means people stop using it?

At Murror, our best outcome is when someone works through what's been weighing on them and doesn't need to come back for a while. They journal, they process, they gain clarity and then they go live their life. That's the whole point.

Six months ago, our team was obsessed with making Murror's AI more intelligent. Better pattern recognition, deeper emotional analysis, more insightful reflections. Every sprint, we'd ship something that made the AI sound smarter.

And our users started disengaging.

So far, the impression I have of this community and maker circles is that you work every day.

Which is great, it s one of the reasons I m here.

We thought we were ready.

Bigger deals. Fewer customers. Better margins. That was the dream.

So we built enterprise features. SSO. Advanced permissions. Audit logs. A whole new pricing tier starting at $2,000/month.

We spent 6 months. Three engineers. One dedicated product manager. Endless meetings about "enterprise readiness."

One year ago, we launched Pretty Prompt here on Product Hunt without a strategy, a deck, or even a proper plan.

We were actually building something else at that time...

That's a lot of AGI, with some substantial firepower:

Anthropic has raised $65 billion in Series H funding led by Altimeter Capital, Dragoneer, Greenoaks, and Sequoia Capital, valuing the company at $965 billion post-money.

From Coatue, who lead the round:

...what s changed since three months ago (the last round was only three months ago, believe it or not)?

Three things:

1. We ve seen the shift from co-pilots that help make us more efficient to agents actually doing long-form work tasks on our behalf. This has meant an explosion in both productivity and ROI for customers.

2. Anthropic introduced Mythos Preview, a whole new model class that demonstrates a step change in intelligence level as seen in the METR chart below. It not only shows dramatic improvement to coding and long-running agents, it is also defining a new frontier for security.

3. And finally > use cases spreading from coding to everything else.

Hi friends,

Thanks for feedback and ideas.. Now they are live in Draft v0.15.0.

2 significant things are circulating on the internet simultaneously this week:

• A tweet about how a human beat a machine (a 10-hour livestream in which a human sorted packages and compared it to the productivity of a robot).

• Or an announcement of a Microsoft AI chief that predicts AI will automate most white-collar work within 18 months.

While I don't think there will be a complete replacement of humans in either case, I do think we will see mass layoffs. My guess is that it will be white-collar jobs first.

Hey everyone, Elitza here, founder of own.page

A few days ago, own.page reached #2 Product of the Day on Product Hunt.

As a solo founder competing against products backed by much larger teams, this wasn't something I expected - but it was something I was determined to achieve. There were moments during the launch when I thought it would be incredibly difficult.

But this incredible community showed up.
